Giovanni Cuzari confirms Forward MV Agusta in 2019

MV Agusta will even go to Moto2 in partnership with Forward, confirms the ‘boss’ of the Swiss structure, Giovanni Cuzari. The project is being worked on for some months, with only official confirmation missing.

Speaking to GPOne, Cuzari confirmed that the rumors about MV Agusta and Forward are true and assured: ‘This is not just a marketing operation. What drives us is passion, as well as the friendship I enjoy with Giovanni [Castiglioni, president of MV Agusta]. I remember him as a child and now I see myself in him, in his attitude towards life and racing. When I used the MV colours on my bikes at Misano last year, we were already thinking about this project. It took longer than we expected, someone tried to hold things up, but we’re ready to start.’

Cuzari also revealed some details, such as the name of Brian Gillen, Technical Director of the MV Agusta R&D dept., as project leader:

– We’ve already been working for a couple of months, if it’s as fast as it is beautiful then we’ll win right away. Brian GIllen will head up the project, and the frame will be designed under his guidance, while Suter will collaborate with us in terms of the swing-arm. I don’t think we could have come up with a better mix.
